In 2023, as many as 427 freshmen from the six 985 universities failed to welcome their freshmen to register, and in about 90% of these cases, the reason was that they were transferred majors. In this era when majors are king, there are very few candidates who will choose a higher-grade university and then choose an unpopular major of the school or obey the adjustment. The consequences of this have a direct impact on future employment. Therefore, they can only wave goodbye to 985 and choose to repeat. And the impact on the source of college students is also very large.
In this situation, in order to adapt to this situation, colleges and universities are also making various system adjustments, such as relaxing the restrictions on changing majors after entering the school, so that college students can independently report their favorite majors and achieve the goal of changing majors. However, it should be noted that there are still differences in the conditions for changing majors in different universities. For example, 211Fuzhou UniversityYou can change majors in the first semester of your freshman year, and you can study in the major you transferred to in the second semester of your freshman year. Moreover, the application for changing majors at Fuzhou University does not look at the students' grades, course grades and college entrance examination scores, but adopts written examinations, interviews and other assessment methods for students according to the needs of the major, and determines the acceptance list according to the results of the written examination and interviewIf the admitted major has specific requirements for students, it will be reflected in the assessment content.
Regarding the change of majors at Fuzhou University, the students reacted like this: as long as you can show half of the hard work of the third year of high school, you can transfer to ** if you want to**. Central South UniversityChanging majors has also been relaxed, and in 2023, you can apply for a general major ranking of 25%, while the previous requirement was to reach a ranking of 20%. This year, it was reported that the first-year and sophomore students successfully transferred from the School of Civil Engineering to the School of Automation. The most attractive thing is that students from other majors can also transfer to Xiangya Medical College. As we all know, the college entrance examination score of medical majors is at the peak, and in Central South University, students only need to rank in the top 10% of their original major and meet the specific requirements for transferring to the major, isn't it tempting?As long as you study hard during your freshman year and Xi take the initiative to apply, you will have the opportunity to move into a new field.
Another exampleZhejiang University"There is almost zero threshold for changing majors, first.
In the second, third and fourth semesters, there are three opportunities for qualified students, and the whole school can be transferred". Again,National University of Defense TechnologyIt is also very easy to change majors, and there is no grade limit, and you can change in four years of college. And so much more**Minzu University, University of Science and Technology of China, China Agricultural UniversityAnd so on, it's easier to change majors.
Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Lanzhou University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, East China Normal University, and Northwest A&F UniversityThese colleges and universities also have no special requirements for grades, as long as the grades are not too bad. However, you only have one chance to change majors.
As Qingbei took the lead in canceling the first shot of grade points this year, more and more 985 colleges and universities began to try to cancel the grade point system. It is foreseeable that the grade points will disappear in the historical trajectory of the development of China's colleges and universities. In 2024, there will definitely be a different, more reasonable and easier change of major requirements.
About the previous years, it was more difficult to change majorsWuhan University, The notice of changing majors in 2024 has been issued, and the time is scheduled for February 26-27, 2024
The 2024 Wuhan University transfer major can be summarized in one sentence: the number of transfer students in each major is between 10% and 30%. Except for students in the third year and above, as well as specific groups of people who cannot be transferred, some majors with college entrance examination scores lower than the same subject in the same province or the minimum score of the solicitation of volunteers cannot be transferred. There are no other requirements, and the grade points have been removed. It can be seen that it is very easy to change majors. The difficulty of other colleges and universities that were more difficult to change majors in previous years can also be seen.
Of course, it takes a certain amount of time to improve the update iteration, and some of the previous requirements for changing majors will still be applicable in 2024. Changing majors in colleges and universities has reduced repetition to a certain extent, which is highly commendable. In order to facilitate everyone to check the changes before and after the comparison at any time, the ** of previous years will be sent to you at the same time, for reference only.
In general, the requirements for changing majors in colleges and universities are becoming more and more relaxed, although they will vary from school to school, but there will still be some common requirements:
For example, the score requirements: some require ranking in the top 25% or 10% of the same major, etc., and some colleges and universities do not require grades.
Course requirements: Some colleges and universities need to take relevant courses to make up for the difference between the original major and the target major.
Application time: The application time for changing majors varies from university to university, and some of them are arranged in the spring semester of each academic year.
Number of applications: The number of applications for changing majors varies from university to university, and there are one, two, and three times.
Assessment methods: including interviews, written examinations, portfolios, etc.
If you decide to apply for a change of major, I hope you can understand the policy of your university for changing majors, fully prepare and work hard to meet the conditions for changing majors. At the same time, make a detailed plan, including how to prepare for the course, how to make self-recommendations, how to prepare for the assessment, etc. Changing majors is also a challenge, and you need to maintain a positive mindset and patience, and believe in yourself and stick to it if you encounter setbacks and difficulties during the application process. If you need help, you can ask for support from teachers, counselors, classmates, etc.
Finally, I hope that all students who intend to change majors can successfully achieve their goals and lay a solid foundation for their future development.
